The Under-18.5s have already locked up a finals spot but they still have plenty to play for as a victory would see the side retain third position and have the benefit of a second chance in the finals.
If the Under-18.5s lose, their spot in the top three would be lost if the Breakers were to win.
The Breakers are likely to earn the victory as they face the Taree City Bulls, who are sitting second last on the ladder.
A win would see the Mustangs face the Pirates in the first week of the finals while a loss would likely see the Mustangs do battle with the Forster-Tuncurry Hawks, who face the bottom-placed Wauchope Blues on Sunday.
The Mustangs Ladies league Tag side sits in a more precarious position.
The ladies dropped to sixth position and out of a finals spot after their loss to the Blues last weekend.
However, they can jump back into the top five with a win over the Pirates.
That’s easier said then done though, as the Pirates are in second position on the ladder and have lost only two games this season.
The Mustangs were dominated when the sides met earlier this year, as the Pirates ran away with the contest in a 34-0 win.
The Mustangs side has improved since then and been competitive in all of their games.
There will be no senior games played as the Mustangs withdrew their first and reserve grade sides.
